We offer medical care, education, vocational traning and other services regardless of gender, age, caste or religion.
Volunteering
Volunteers have been at the core of Calcutta Rescue since Dr Jack’s very first street clinic and we continue to welcome professionals from around the globe.
During the past thirty two years, the medical volunteer role has changed dramatically. In the early years, the medical volunteer performed the job with assistance from the local Indian staff. Now, the volunteer’s role is more supervisory than ‘hands on’, bringing advice, up to date techniques and evaluation skills to the Calcutta Rescue team as appropriate.
Volunteering with Calcutta Rescue brings so many rewards – you become part of a family, learn to value all you have, make surprisingly intense and special friendships, work hard and have great fun! There is no doubt that this once in a life time experience will give you the opportunity to learn a lot about yourself and develop skills that may surprise you.
Have you got what it takes? Good spoken English is essential. You need to be healthy, adaptable, determined, mature in outlook, flexible, tolerant, patient, have a good sense of humour, ready for a challenge and want to make a difference. All ages, all walks of life, the greater the differences, the better.
